  10. A dream come true...you sound like someone who won the lottery in your video (-: And in a way, you have. You know how lucky and blessed you are now, and you'll never forget it. What a gift. And what a gift YOU are! Listen for that champagne cork popping on Tuesday night when we see Jenny for the holiday. A whole new meaning for Thanksgiving.

    Much love, the Yoo's

  12. I know you could have never imagined or wanted to take this journey, but I am so glad to have gotten to know you. I can honestly say I am a better person and a better nurse because of it. It was a pleasure taking care of you and a priviledge to be a part of your story. I'm so glad I got to be there for your last chemo!
    You are so loved and your support system is enormous. (just a little insight into how special you really are....)
    I wish nothing but good things for you from now on. M50 will miss you.

  14. Emily,
    My husband and I met you and your family at the mass John Ciancibello had. Our daughter Rachel had ovarian cancer at the age of 23 and has been cancer free for 1 year. Yay!! We have been praying for you. I have been following your blog and am so happy to hear about your last treatment! Such great news! You are a survivor!! Just want to wish you the best of luck in the weeks, months and years to come with getting your strength back and getting back to doing the things a college girl should be doing. Take care.

  15. Way to go Emily! New day, new challenges--they're nothing compared to what you accomplished over the last 9 months. See you soon.
